A detail of the Orchestra and Cavea of the Theatre, on April 14, 2007 in Epidaurus, Greece. The Theatre, designed by Polykleitos the Younger, was built in the late 4th century BC and extended in the Hellenistic period. It was rediscovered in 1881 and significantly restored in the 1950s. It has the three main features of a Greek theatre: the orchestra, a sunken round stage surrounded by a paved drainage depression; the skene, and the cavea, a raked semi-circular auditorium with radiating diazomas. The theatre is renowned for its accoustics thanks to the symmetry of the cavea, seen here in the evening light and shadow.
